Command Response Description
jsd100.sys.mute 1 1 Sets or reads the current mute status of the JSD-100. If the supplied
parameter is 1, the system is muted. If the supplied parameter is 0, the
system is unmated. If no parameter is supplied, the mute status of the
system remains unchanged. The command always returns the current
mute status of the system. If the command includes a parameter, the
new mute status is returned. If no parameter is supplied, the current
mute status is returned.
jsd100.sys.sleep 120 120 Sets or reads the sleep timer. If no parameter is provided, the JSD-100
returns the number of minutes until it will go to sleep. This timer is
reset to the sleep timeout value on output audio presence, format
change, or fader level change. If a parameter is provided, the sleep
timer is set to the specified number of minutes. If there is output
audio, a format change, or a fader level change, the sleep timer is set
to its timeout value. If the parameter to this command is non-zero and
the system is sleeping, the system will wake up.
DCS Configuration
A Digital Cinema Server is normally configured to send commands to the JSD-100 over Ethernet or RS-232 at
appropriate times during content playout. The user needs to configure macros to send commands to the JSD-100.
Servers vary in how control characters (such as tab and carriage return) are entered. The table below lists a few
servers and how control characters are entered. Consult the Knowledge Base on the USL website for updates to
this list.

Manufacturer Control Code Entry
Dolby Automation commands are currently only supported over RS-232, not Ethernet. In Show
Manager, on the "serial automation" system page, there is a "termination" field where you
can put byte codes to be added to the end of each command. By default the system
includes "\0A" (line feed) in this field, but you can change it "\0D" (carriage return) or any
other sequence. This will terminate each automation string. To insert a tab in an
automation string, use “\09”.
Doremi Use "\r" to send a carriage return at the end of a string defined for a raw device. Use “\t”
to inset a tab in an automation string.
